Gazza's son is a real hot shot but 16-year-old Regan chooses modelling over football

His father Paul Gascoigne has been in and out of the news for years due to his very public battle with alcoholism.

But now it’s the time for his son Regan to take centre stage and for a vastly different reason to Gazza.

The 17--year-old's proud step-sister Bianca tweeted a snap of him shirtless from a recent modelling campaign.

are talking about at least two months and nobody will be going out to

'He's probably going to die soon. I don't think there's any point in helping him. He's my dad. He should have helped and seen me all these years.

'Everyone thinks he's Gazza but because he's the top player doesn't mean he's a good dad or good person to be with, does it, really?'
